I ventured up to the third floor today and noticed a great reduction in the quantity of mouse poop around the center of the floor near the traps. The traps haven't caught anything in a while. The mice must have been scared off! They must have heard about the mummified remains of their great ancester that I found. Maybe it was the sight of the mummified head mounted on a toothpick and posted near the entrance to their nest as a warning!
I'm pretty sure I've got one underneath my stove. My cats will sit for hours staring at it, waiting. I even pulled it away from the wall in hopes that maybe the mouse would mess up and stick it's head out but still nothing. I may have to resort to a snap trap. I can handle snakes, spiders, just about anything but mice give me the worst fright. I actually sprained my ankle once when one made an appearance in my living room a few years back and I dove for the couch.
